Friendship (Andrew DeYoung, May 2025) Movie • Page 3

I wasn’t sure if it would reach the Midwest

 

If you're theater typically gets A24 films, I'm like 90% sure wide release means it'll be near you. Unless your theaters are super small and only get blockbusters, which happens sometimes (we never got I Saw the TV Glow here)

 

Yeah, if A24 movies have reached you in the past it should play there. I doubt it will go as wide as something like Civil War but it should get a bigger release than say I Saw The TV Glow. Friendship absolutely is not a mainstream comedy so I am not sure what it's commerical prospects are gonna look like. It's def going to be a cult comedy. It plays like a Tim Robinson character stumbled in to an A24 drama (compliment. It's funny as fuck but if ITYSL is not your thing, you will hate every minute of this)

Apparently I am at a place in my life where a friend invites me to perform in a 10pm improv show in North Hollywood, I drive up there with minimal info, and then realize the show is 3 Fridays from now. So, thanks to my own poor reading comprehension, I am now in Burbank about to catch a late showing of this.

 

Not that there’s a ton of crossover with those audiences, but releasing it wide the same weekend as “Mission: Impossible” and “Lilo and Stitch” is basically throwing it in the lion’s den to get devoured by the competition.

 

Boys, they made one for us.
